Picking Pumpkins


Today we embraced Fall and went pumpkin picking.  Brian's been away for the past month so we decided to head out as a family on a little adventure.  Our neighbors told us about a pumpkin patch not far from the house on Massey's Ranch.  The weather almost deterred us, it was in the 50's and a bit rainy, but we arrived just as the rain took a break and had a blast!

We were greeted at our truck by a nice lady driving a cart and opted to take it to the patch and ride the hayride back.  Sabrina got a special treat and was able to help drive to the pumpkin patch.


Once we arrived there were rows and rows of perfect pumpkins to pick.  Sabrina & Brian took off to find the perfect one.



Of course we couldn't pick just one.




Sabrina wanted them all!





I decided to take her to the end of the patch to look for another perfect one.



We found an extra large one and stopped for a photo op.  Sabrina has some silly faces, she mostly likes to make a pirate face when we ask her to pose for the camera.




Finally we collected them all in a pile.


Brian stopped to give his favorite little pumpkin a kiss

Next we took off to get a wagon to pull them back to the hayride




Miss independent had to pull it herself




After loading them up, she still wanted to pull the wagon by herself



It was a bit heavy so she finally accepted help.

We enjoyed the hayride back through the  ranches beautiful property.
